What critics compared The Brothers Rico to
The other films are more or less noir: The Brothers Rico (1957), with Richard Conte trying to keep his nose clean despite family ties; 5 Against the House, the silly but compelling mishaps of a group of college students trying to hold up a Reno casino (1955); the claustrophobic Tight Spot (1955), with star witness Ginger Rogers (!) hiding out in a hotel room with cop Brian Keith; and Scandal Sheet, Karlson's 1952 newspaper exposé starring Broderick Crawford as the unscrupulous (what else?) editor of a sensational big-city tabloid.
